    Good news, a friend and I are going to venture into a DIY room treatment project together and build out some panels and traps!

    @BenjaminBore, briliant: lol!
    
    @Elmer Danilovich, first get the speakers and listen to them. Just enjoy. Do not do this with the premise that there must be something wrong with your room that you have to correct!

    @Thad E Ginathom ...I've had these speakers for about a year now, just some JBL 305p MKii's on a pair ProJax 40 Isolation Kits in a smaller space with EQ,
    
    With a larger room I'd like them a foot off the wall but with treatment, @PTS I think your suggestion is where I'll wind up if I don't DIY it myself. Eventually I'll get a set of 705s or 708s, but till then I'd like to enjoy the task of room treatment

    I hear what you describe, say switching between HD580 and the CX, when watching video with a lot of dialog. However, when playing music I prefer the dynamic headphone. The CX loses something critical for me, which is the dynamic flow of the music.

    Honestly I'm so blessed to have a friend who sings, and sings well! It kinda sucks tho, after hanging out with her over a few months there's a handful of popular music I can't quite enjoy as much after hearing a living breathing... soul sing it!

  So I've got a [Birgir] CCS Modded 007tA in-bound and I'm thinking maybe an HE60 would be worthwhile!

    How did you do that? That is serious end-game territory.
    
    Jul 11, 2020
  3. Elmer Danilovich
    How? Umm I paid for it... 70/80 hour works weeks pile up over a year that and I was shocked at how quickly my Mid Fi stuff sold soo before you know it BAM a lot of end game magic was very obtainable
    
    Haven't bought the headphone yet but it's very tempting and within reach,

    For e-stat advise, the best place would be www.head-case.org, which is the home of all e-stat aficionados, including Spritzer.

    The results of my aforementioned experiment is first hand experience in that "prototypes" are fickle. Sometimes AMAZING other times... not so much and frankly unwavering consistency is just as important as sound quality

  I highly recommend the Vinyl of Metallica's S&M over the CDs, after some digging I've confirmed the dynamic range is audibly better

    The DVD is also way better than the CDs, although it's pretty rare. Picked mine up on eBay about 10 years ago. Has 4 diff audio tracks; lossy DD 5.1, PCM stereo, and lossy stereo of separate band/orchestra.
